Exterior Patio Shades

While there are many ways to enjoy the beautiful California weather, having an outdoor living space is a great way to relax, unwind, host, and enjoy all the beautiful California sunshine. However, we know that sometimes this sunshine can be overwhelming, making outdoor living spaces uncomfortable or causing too much heat inside your home through windows or doors.

Luckily for our customers at LC Window Treatments near Sonoma, California, we carry a wide selection of exterior patio shades, so that you can enjoy your outdoor space while protecting the interior and the exterior of your home from the sun's glare and temperature.

When you think of your outdoor space, you may feel that incorporating window treatments is counter-intuitive to enjoying the weather and the sunshine. However, exterior patio shades have a wide variety of benefits for your home's interior and exterior.

• Exterior: When it comes to the exterior of your home, incorporating shades can ensure that any family members, friends, or guests who gather in that outdoor space are not subject to intense heat from the sun. Additionally, the sun's glare can make it hard to engage with friends and make eye contact. Shades allow you to still feel the sun's warmth without the intense glare, feat of heat, or sun exposure.
  

• Interior: If your home has an outdoor space, there is a high probability that you have large doors or windows leading to the outside. The sun can cause damage to your furniture, art, and decor, even from the outside, with its intense glare and UV rays. Patio shades protect your belongings and help regulate the temperature inside your home to keep it energy-efficient.
  

All About Exterior Patio Shades

Exterior Patio Shades from esteemed brands such as Graber, Somfy, and more, come in all shades, sizes, and varieties. Some brands offer exterior solar shades while some offer motorized shades or drapery. The critical feature of exterior patio shades is that they can, when raised, reduce heat and block UV rays significantly. Most of the sun's heat is either absorbed by the shade or reflected. Our team at LC Window Treatments also has impressive zipper track systems that are wind resistant and keep the bugs out.

Our customers love spending time and gathering in their outdoor living spaces to enjoy the beautiful California weather, but incorporating exterior patio shades can make the space even more livable and comfortable. In addition to exterior patio shades, we carry various other blinds, shades, shutters, drapery, and other window treatments from Graber, Norman, and Alta.
